Playing In The Sandbox (Recruitment, Info, And OOC)

don't forget the two +1's from Cyrta and Tethe there Brony.

Fixed. I need 1 assist to bump to 35.

I've now posted so we've all tried our things with dealing' with the five major events. Let's see what the reactions are. :3

Also I thought it over Ramsus... And yes I am going to trade out my new trait of Rabid Recovery for the Conjurer’s Pet trait, I see that one being more useful as a whole for me.

You guys aren't quite done yet. Those of you who haven't made aiding rolls can throw those around wherever you like. And while you're at it use you other abilities/MP/whatever.

Edit: Xel, I thought I was pretty clear that you only get one main roll. I'm just going to ignore the Stealth roll.

I don't think this was an issue of you being clear or not... But me having a plan that needed two skill rolls for logic reasons in my brain and just doing it without telling anyone cause I thought it was a good idea. So it didn't matter if you were clear, my idea said two dice rolls... So I'd have done two dice rolls. XD

Oh yeah... Because you didn't take the stealth roll... Did I still use up a charge of my stealth mode?

Nope.

Coolio. :3

Those are all super confusing to keep track of. Rolled 19+ 11 for Desertwise= 30 assist to whichever event needs it most.

Well since Skaimos doesn't need the help, the only other one that your Desert Survival would apply to would be Cyrta's so, I'm going to say that's the one you're aiding.

Edit: I'll probably update as soon as I can after DB does his assist. So if anyone has any other utilities or MP they want to throw around on things, now would be the time for that.

Ok... I just ralized that Tordek's second roll doesn't factor into this, like how my Stealth Roll doesn't factor in so I deleted the post where I added a magic point to that.

Nevermind this post of madness...

So so far we've got the following roll outcomes:

Event 1: Main Roll: 28 (or 31) (Tordek) Assist: 20 (Cyrta)
Event 2: Main Roll: 48 (Tethe) Assist: 20 (Tordek) (Also event two we got some type of Utilities RPed Bonus from Lynt)
Event 3: Main Roll: 28 (or 33) (Alma) Assist: 28 (Skaimos)
Event 4: Main Roll: 30 (nat 20) (Skaimos)
Event 5: Main Roll: 38 (Cyrta) Assist: 30 (Alma)

I think we've won this with flying colors! :3

Considering I designed this with the intent for you guys to use your MP, why would you assume anything but the nat 20 was a sure thing? Ok admittedly you guys probably passed event 2 for sure.

I'll use both charges of generosity on Alma and Cyrta's main rolls. Since theirs seem most likely to damage the caravan if they fail. not exactly sure how, maybe fueling whatever they're doing with paladin magic? Will I have to post that in the IC? Also since Lynt got a nat 20 there's not really anyone left for Tethe to assist...?

So with Generosity flying around, if the assists somehow fail that would be a 43 (or 48) on Event 3 and a 53 on Event 5. Event 4 and Event 2 are probably passed, and these are around the same results as Event 2 anyway.

So I'm gonna be a douche and not help the other guys, but bump up my own roll with my MP, taking it up to 38 or 41.

I'll use my Magic Point to bolster Alma's roll. No offence, 7/9, but I'd like to make sure we survive the sandstorm.

Using your MP OOC is fine in this case. Normally though I'd prefer if it were IC.

Huh. Tethe didn't assist anyone.... oh. DB, multiple people can assist the same person. Did I word that funny?

None taken, don't worry about it, I just want a better chance of five successes.

well then I'll assist Tordek. Way I see it, I have two ways of doing that.
A) Roll perception and just look with him.
or
B) Roll athletics to pick him up and hold him over my head so he'll have a higher vantage point.

I'm pretty sure I'll get a much better roll out of athletics. What do you think? XD

...That's hilarious. Do it.

That is the single best assist I have seen.

lol ok. Well, I said I'd be moving on once DB posted so, I'm just throwing Alma and Cyrta's MP at the finding of shiny thing since you succeeded at everything else already even without them and I actually would rather not have to figure out what overwhelming success on the other things would be like.

Alright, guys, on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being "Sure, why not?" and 10 being "ARE YOU FREAKING INSANE!?!", what do you guys think of Skaimos telling Thag that he's...well, Skaimos?

Pros:
-We're far out of Kabikyo, so the bounty probably no longer applies.
-I saved his life.
-He's got a family of his own, so he's likely to sympathize.

Cons:
-We've essentially been lying to him for weeks.
-That was a REALLY large bounty.
-Thag has shown a tendency for low emotional control and high damage potential for people he doesn't like.

You forgot a pro: Thag is currently in no position to do anything to us once he finds out. That said, if you do that, Alma will have words with you.

I'd go with a 7. Since the only reason he got hurt is because of your lie.

Also, Thag is gonna die. Calling it here and now. If he says anything about considering retiring from bounty hunting Tethe will be carving a coffin for him out of ice.
